A few months ago I drastically changed my scraproom (see the folder scraproom on the right side) and with that I cleaned out my supplies and kept only about 1/3 of it. Here and there I gave some stuff away but I have some leftovers. I was wondering if I could make one of you happy with this? It's all rubons and chipboard and it could be all yours. If there's more than one interested I will pick a winner on Friday evening.

The craziness of carnaval in Brabant has arrived and while Ad is taking the kids to watch the carnavalsparade here in our village ('t Faantenland) I can sit down, relax and work on my blog. Gosh, I have an headache for the past 2 days and the medication that I am usually taking isn't working at all. Maybe a little bit of rest will do the trick because the past few days I've been running from one place to another and working on a few things in between. Ofcourse I loved doing it and I had a great time but to be honest with you I am totally worn out right now.

On Friday I've spend most of the day in the kitchen to work on 10 kilos of potatosalade, potatosalde exactly like my "German grandmother" used to make it. As a little girl I often had to help her and I remember how to make it just like she did. It's one of our favorite dishes and with parties, or special days we eat this salade. These days I am always the "sucker" who has to prepare this, but in all fairness I love doing it as I love cooking. And in case you're wondering ..... that 10 kilos of potatosalade is all gone yesterday.

On Fridayevening I had a little get together with Nancy and Revlie. We were supposed to scrap but we talked more than we scrapped. Isn't that how it usually goes *LOL* We had a great time though and I hope we will do it again in the near future.

Yesterday we went to my parents to watch the parade in their village called Raamsdonk, allthough with carnaval it's called d'n Haaykant. It is always so much fun and crowded on their sidewalk. For the last 6 or 7 years it's a big party, there's music, drinks, food (that's where my 10 kilos of potatoesalad went to) and great company. Family and friends all come together here. Some of them we only see once a year but it's always great to catch up and watch the parade together. I've made about 150+ pictures but I will share a selection of them here. See where a small village can be a giant with.

Gosh, I wanted to go shopping today, but now that I look outside I've lost my appetite. The weather is so bad, it's raining cats and dogs. I tell you I prefer the low temperatures from last month over this terrible weather. So instead I am going to be at home all day, do a few chores in the house and for my work but after that I am going to scrap.

Yesterday I've made another card with a card sketch by Kazan from 2 Sketches 4 You. I really like these sketches, I am usually not that much of a cardmaker but these sketches almost make it a piece of cake.

This year I decided to use up my paper scraps more often because I always save them and in the end they never get used. Such a waste, because it's so easy to create a card with them and I could make someone's day with those (cause I am not planning to keep them all for myself). So I was looking for some great blogs where they post card sketches and I fell in love with this one at CPS (card positioning system). I liked it so much that I created a card with it right away. And since the evening is still so young, I might have to look for some more "cards" blog, any tips?

Today it's the 15th which means we've posted a new wijDUS challenge. A sketch challenge and we've used one of my sketches (see this sidebar). The fun thing is that with sketches you can do so many different things and the girls of the team really outdid themselves. Go and take a peek.

Dit is de schets die we hebben gebruikt/ this is the sketch that we've used:

And now it's time to close off the computer and step in the car to go to Eva, where we will also meet up with Mireille and her family to chat a little, make some pictures and who knows what else;) Have a great Sunday you all!
